Busbar Global Market Report 2026

A busbar, a metallic strip or bar within a power distribution system, serves as a conductor for transmitting electrical energy. Typically crafted from copper or aluminum, it's designed to handle substantial electrical loads.

The primary materials employed in busbar manufacturing are aluminum, copper, and brass. Aluminum, a thin, silvery-white metal known for its ductility, lightness, and resistance to corrosion, is widely utilized in busbar construction. Its favorable electrical and mechanical attributes, including lower resistivity and lightweight nature, make it a preferred choice. Power ratings vary from low to medium and high, finding applications across utility, industrial, residential, and commercial sectors.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on copper, aluminum, and fabricated metal components have impacted the busbar market by increasing raw material and manufacturing costs across utilities, industrial, and commercial segments. Regions heavily dependent on imported metals, including North America and parts of Europe, have experienced price volatility and longer procurement cycles. These tariffs have affected high-power and copper-based busbar segments most significantly. However, they have also encouraged local manufacturing, greater use of aluminum alternatives, and innovation in lightweight and cost-efficient busbar designs.

The busbar market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $18.38 billion in 2025 to $19.37 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of power generation infrastructure, growth of industrial manufacturing facilities, rising electrification of residential buildings, increasing investments in utility distribution networks, demand for reliable power transmission components.

The busbar market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $24.3 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, expansion of renewable energy installations, rising adoption of smart grids, increasing power demand from data centers, advancements in high-capacity electrical distribution systems. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for high-current power distribution systems, growing adoption of aluminum busbars for cost efficiency, increasing use of compact and modular busbar designs, rising focus on energy-efficient power transmission, expansion of customized busbar solutions for industrial applications.

The rising popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) is anticipated to boost the busbar market in the coming years. EVs are vehicles that operate either partially or fully on electricity stored in rechargeable batteries. In these vehicles, busbars serve as crucial conductive pathways that efficiently distribute electrical power from the battery to various components, including the electric motor, charging system, and auxiliary systems. By providing a streamlined and high-capacity electrical connection, busbars enhance power transmission within the vehicle's electrical system, ensuring dependable performance. For example, in July 2023, the International Energy Agency, an autonomous organization based in France, reported that over 2.3 million electric cars were sold in the first quarter of 2023, marking a 25% increase compared to the same period in 2022. Sales are projected to reach 14 million by the end of 2023, signifying a 35% increase year-over-year, with growth expected to accelerate in the latter half of the year. Consequently, the growing adoption of electric vehicles is contributing to the expansion of the busbar market.

Major companies operating in the busbar market are concentrating on innovations such as modular busbar trunking systems to deliver compact, high-capacity, and easily deployable power distribution solutions for commercial, industrial, and data center environments. A modular busbar trunking system is composed of rigid copper or aluminum conductors housed within insulated, often ventilated enclosures, serving as an alternative to extended cable runs by using pre-engineered tracks that minimize installation time, reduce space usage, and lower energy losses. For example, in July 2024, Siemens AG, a Germany-based engineering conglomerate, introduced the BD2 busbar trunking system in Ho Chi Minh City. The BD2 system incorporates segmented copper conductors within a corrosion-resistant enclosure, operates as a plug-and-play power distribution rail with adaptable tap-off points, and provides higher current-carrying capacity, improved thermal performance, built-in safety features for fault containment, and simplified mechanical connections that enable quicker on-site installation.

In November 2025, Dielectric Manufacturing Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturing company, acquired EMS Industrial and Service Company for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Dielectric seeks to enhance its production capacity for EV and power-distribution components and simplify customer sourcing by incorporating in-house busbar fabrication, supporting expansion across EV, power transmission, and data-center applications. EMS Industrial and Service Company, Inc. is a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in the fabrication of copper and aluminum busbars and customized busbar systems for EV and power-distribution uses.
